One saturday I
drove with my bike friend Evald to Hedemora in order to
visit the mc museum there. I had phoned in advance to be
sure that it was open. The owner is son to the former
enthusiast who had worked all his life with cars and mc:s
and even active in the local mc club. In this way he ad
gathered many different types of mc:s and old cars. Hedemora
is known for it's mc GP competitions in the 50th. I worked
for 9 years at Hedemora Diesel and every morning I passed
his old house. On his yard is there to old mechanical workshop
where hi gathered his bikes. After his death there is no more
any activity there. Down a small slope, not seen from the
road is his old repair shop. Any refreshment of these
buildings is not done. I remember very well when the old man
died and everybody at my work talked about it.

One day in the spring
there was auction in the place and all his motorbike were
standing on his yard. But curious enough there were not any
bike or car sold, what I could see.
The owner was nice and we had to remember him to get the
fee. 20 Skr. Very cheap. Then he followed us around and told
and answered our questions. As extra he rolled out an old
20th HD and kicked it so we could here it roaring. The bike
started nicely. Then we asked if he had something interesting
in the old repair garage. OK there is no problem to go there
and have a look. Outside he had still some junk cars from
middle of 50th and 60th, all English and German cars. Inside
he had 2 T-Fords and one old children pedal car as a mini
copy of
Austin A30-A70.
I remember that King of Sweden 2010 got one when he was a
boy. Can possible be that one. Now rebuild with a small
engine and car wheels.

It was very
narrow and hard to take photos inside the dark locals. Sorry
to say it is hard to identify all mc:s so a new visit is
done 2010.
Upstairs where most of the motorbikes where stored had perhaps
been the living apartment while downstairs had been the old
repair shop. One ILO bicycle motor and many for me now
unknown motorcycle brands. Look at the old open fire in
background behind the V2 bike.

The Husqvarna with reinforced pipe on both sides. The side
mc quipped with changeable third wheel slopeness. Several old what we today say mopeds. Look in the background
at the old office chair.
The museum has 2010 moved to new locals in a villa near
north part of Hedemora. Drive in villa area near by the OK
petrol station. Follow sign boards.

The new museum.

The new museum
is now installed in two villa garages.
After the death of present owner father and mother he bought
a house in the north part of Hedemora. For this he sold at
least 2 older cycles and the Ford cars. This was a must when
the old living house was in bad condition.

The community had also push
him to sell because they wanted the area for industry
buildings.
Of this became no reality and today the houses and
workshop is hired by a local mc club. The living house
became their Club local.

This little road sign shows the Museum place for 2010. Ref

This cycle is converted for producer gas. Ref 1.

This HD is noramlly started for the visitors. Ref 1,

In this new
museum there is at least three very interesting machines.
One Senning, Excelsior and a HD. The DS cycle has a Motosacoche engine but for
the rest there is Senning's own construction.
Those who were involved in building this are gathered on the
photo. Senning stands to the left. In this gang also Ivar Malmer
was involved. He was the man t6ogether with Thord Ångström
who were main father of Enoch Thulin´s
motorcycles.

The only left part from
Strömberg's Duesenberg car. It was saved from the scrapping
death. Read about Dusenberg in this link.
Torsten Krügers
car. Not that this is not the match box king who shoot
himself in Paris. Instead Ivar, the man who had much
trouble with a paper industry in Jämtland Sweden.

About
HD-machine
you can read in MC museum Sura. On the last picture there is
also it's production no.

The excelsior mark was one of Hendersson different cycles.
This type is one of his first constructions.
Henderssons.
He ended up with production of ACE. William got his main
education at Winton Cars where his father was vice
president. It was from Winton that Packard bought a car,
model Stanhope. From this they made the
Packard badge famous.

Brage is for sure a local production cycle in Dalarna Sweden. If
the engine is bought or not I don't know. It is converted
for gas.
